Alpha IC adrenergic receptor antagonists

ABSTRACT

This invention relates to certain novel compounds and derivatives thereof, their synthesis, and their use as selective alpha-1C adrenergic receptor antagonists. One application of these compounds is in the treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy. These compounds are selective in their ability to relax smooth muscle tissue enriched in the alpha1C receptor subtype without at the same time inducing orthostatic hypotension. One such tissue is found surrounding the urethral lining. Therefore, one utility of the instant compounds is to provide acute relief to males suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia, by permitting less hindered urine flow. Another utility of the instant compounds is provided by combination with a human 5-alpha reductase inhibitory compound, such that both acute and chronic relief from the effects of benign prostatic hyperplasia are achieved.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

This invention relates to certain novel compounds and derivatives thereof, their synthesis, and their use as selective alpha-1c adrenoceptor antagonists. One application of these compounds is in the treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy. These compounds are selective in their ability to relax smooth muscle tissue enriched in the alpha1C receptor subtype without at the same time inducing orthostatic hypotension. One such tissue is found surrounding the urethral lining. Therefore, one utility of the instant compounds is to provide acute relief to males suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia, by permitting less hindered urine flow. Another utility of the instant compounds is provided by combination with a human 5-alpha reductase inhibitory compound, such that both acute and chronic relief from the effects of benign prostatic hyperplasia are achieved. Other advantages of the instant compounds are appreciated from the complete disclosure.

2. Background

Human adrenergic receptors are integral membrane proteins which have been classified into two broad classes, the alpha and the beta adrenergic receptors. Both types mediate the action of the peripheral sympathetic nervous system upon binding of catecholamines, norepinephrine and epinephrine.

Norepinephrine is produced by adrenergic nerve endings, while epinephrine is produced by the adrenal medulla. The binding affinity of adrenergic receptors for these compounds forms one basis of the classification: alpha receptors bind norepinephrine more strongly than epinephrine and much more strongly than the synthetic compound isoproterenol. The binding affinity of these hormones is reversed for the beta receptors. In many tissues, the functional responses, such as smooth muscle contraction, induced by alpha receptor activation are opposed to responses induced by beta receptor binding.

Subsequently, the functional distinction between alpha and beta receptors was further highlighted and refined by the pharmacological characterization of these receptors from various animal and tissue sources. As a result, alpha and beta adrenergic receptors were further subdivided into α₁, α₂, β₁, and β₂ subtypes. Functional differences between α₁ and β₂ receptors have been recognized, and compounds which exhibit selective binding between these two subtypes have been developed. Thus, in WO 92/0073, the selective ability of the R(+) enantiomer of terazosin to selectively bind to adrenergic receptors of the alpha 1 subtype was reported. The (α₁ /α₂ selectivity of this compound was disclosed as being significant because agonist stimulation of the α₂ receptors was said to inhibit secretion of epinephrine and norepinephrine, while antagonism of the α₂ receptor was said to increase secretion of these hormones. Thus, the use of non-selective alpha-adrenergic blockers, such as phenoxybenzamine and phentolamine, is limited by their α₂ adrenergic receptor mediated induction of increased plasma catecholamine concentration and the attendant physiological sequelae (increased heart rate and smooth muscle contraction).

For a general background on the α-adrenergic receptors, the reader's attention is directed to Robert R. Ruffolo, Jr., α-Adrenoreceptors: Molecular Biology, Biochemistry and Pharmacology, (Progress in Basic and Clinical Pharmacology series, Karger, 1991), wherein the basis of α₁ /α₂ subclassification, the molecular biology, signal transduction (G-protein interaction and location of the significant site for this and ligand binding activity away from the 3'-terminus of alpha adrenergic receptors), agonist structure-activity relationships, receptor functions, and therapeutic applications for compounds exhibiting α-adrenergic receptor affinity was explored.

The cloning, sequencing and expression of alpha receptor subtypes from animal tissues has led to the subclassification of the α₁ receptors into α_(1A), (Lomasney, et al., J. Biol. Chem., 266:6365-6369 (1991), rat α_(1A) ; Bruno et al., BBRC, 179:1485-1490 (1991), human α_(1A)), α_(1B) (Cotecchia, et al., PNAS, 85;7159-7163 (1988), hamster a_(1B) ; Libert, et al., Science, (1989), dog α_(1B) ; Ramarao, et al., J. Biol. Chem., 267:21936-21945 (1992), human α_(1B)), and most recently, in a study using bovine brain, a new α_(1C) subtype was proposed (Schwinn, et al., J. Biol. Chem., 265:8183-8189, 1990; Hirasawa et al., BBRC 195:902-909 (1993), described the cloning, functional expression and tissue distribution of a human α_(1C) adrenergic receptor; Hoehe et al., Human Mol. Genetics 1(5):349 (8/92) noted the existence of a two-allele Pst1 restriction fragment polymorphism in the α_(1C) adrenergic receptor gene; another study suggests that there may even be an alpha-1D receptor subtype, see Perez et al., Mol. Pharm., 40:876-883, 1992). Each α₁ receptor subtype exhibits its own pharmacologic and tissue specificities. Schwinn and coworkers noted that the cloned bovine α_(1C) receptor exhibited pharmacological properties proposed for the α_(1A) subtype. Nonetheless, based on its non-expression in tissues where the α_(1A) subtype is expressed, and its sensitivity to chloroethylclonidine, the receptor was given a new designation.

The differences in the α-adrenergic receptor subtypes have relevance in pathophysiologic conditions. Benign prostatic hypertrophy, BPH, is an illness typically affecting men over fifty years of age, increasing in severity with increasing age. The symptoms of the condition include, but are not limted to, increased difficulty in urination and sexual dysfunction. These symptoms are induced by enlargement, or hypertrophy, of the prostate gland. As the prostate increases in size, it impinges on free-flow of fluids through the male urethra. Concommitantly, the increased noradrenergic innervation of the enlarged prostate leads to an increased adrenergic tone of the bladder neck and urethra, further restricting the flow of urine through the urethra.

The mechanism of prostatic hypertrophy is well understood. The male hormone, 5α-dihydrotestosterone has been identified as the principal culprit. The continual production of 5α-dihydrotestosterone by the male testes induces incremental growth of the prostate gland throughout the life of the male. Beyond the age of about fifty years, in many men, this enlarged gland begins to obstruct the urethra with the pathologic symptoms noted above.

The elucidation of the mechanism summarized above has resulted in the recent development of effective agents to control, and in many cases reverse, the pernicious advance of BPH. In the forefront of these agents is Merck & Co., Inc.s' product PROSCAR® (finasteride). The effect of this compound is to inhibit the enzyme testosterone 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone into 5α-dihydrotesterone, resulting in a reduced rate of prostatic enlargement, and often reduction in prostatic mass.

The development of such agents as PROSCAR® bodes well for the long-term control of BPH. However, as may be appreciated from the lengthy development of the syndrome, its reversal also is not immediate. In the interim, those males suffering with BPH continue to suffer, and may in fact lose hope that the agents are working sufficiently rapidly.

In response to this problem, one solution is to identify pharmaceutically active compounds which complement slower-acting therapeutics by providing acute relief. Agents which induce relaxation of the urethral smooth muscle, by binding to alpha-i adrenergic receptors, thus reducing the increased adrenergic tone due to the disease, would be good candidates for this activity. Thus, one such agent is alfuzosin, which is reported in EP 0 204597 to induce urination in cases of prostatic hypertrophy. Likewise, in WO 92/0073, the selective ability of the R(+) enantiomer of terazosin to bind to adrenergic receptors of the α₁ subtype was reported. In addition, in WO 92/161213, hereby incorporated by reference, combinations of 5-alpha-reductase inhibitory compounds and alpha-adrenergic receptor blockers (terazosin, doxazosin, prazosin, bunazosin, indoramin, alfuzosin) were disclosed. However, no information as to the α_(1A), α_(1B), or α_(1C) subtype specificity of these compounds was provided as these refinements were not yet available. Current therapy for BPH uses existing non-selective alpha-1 antagonists such as prazosin (Minipress, Pfizer) or Terazosin (Hytrin, Abbott). These non-selective antagonists suffer from side effects related to antagonism of the alpha-1a and alpha-1b receptors in the peripheral vasculature, eg., orthostatic hypotension and syncope.

Typically, identification of active compounds is through use of animal tissues known to be enriched in adrenergic receptors. Thus, rat tissues have been used to screen for potential adrenergic receptor antagonists. However, because of species variability, compounds which appear active in animal tissue may not be active or sufficiently selective in humans. This results in substantial wastage of time and effort, particularly where high volume compound screening programs are employed. There is also the danger that compounds, which might be highly effective in humans, would be missed because of their absence of appreciable affinity for the heterologous animal receptors. In this regard, it has been noted that even single amino acid changes between the sequence of biologically active proteins in one species may give rise to substantial pharmacological differences. Thus, Fong et al., (J. Biol. Chem., 267:25668-25671, 1992) showed that there are 22 divergent amino acid residues between the sequence of the human neurokinin-1 receptor and the homologous rat receptor. They further showed, in studies with mutant receptors, that substitution of only two amino acid residues was both necessary and sufficient to reproduce the rat receptor's antagonist binding affinity in the human receptor. Oksenberg et al., (Nature 360:161-163, 1992) showed that a single amino-acid difference confers major pharmacological variation between the human and the rodent 5-hydroxytryptamine receptors. Likewise, Kuhse et al., (Neuron, 5:867-873, 1990) showed that a single amino-acid exchange alters the pharmacology of the neonatal rat glycine receptor subunit. This difficulty and unpredictability has resulted in a need for a compound screen which will identify compounds that will be active in humans.

These problems are solved by cloning the human adrenergic receptor of the α_(1C) subtype and the use of a screening assay which enables identification of compounds which specifically interact with the human α1C adrenergic receptor. Marshall et al (Br. J. Pharm., 107:327 (1992)) speculated that compounds which specifically interact with the α1C adrenergic receptor may be responsible for contraction of the human prostate. As disclosed in the instant patent disclosure, a cloned human α_(1C) adrenergic receptor and a method for identifying compounds which bind the human α_(1C) receptor has now made possible the identification of specific human α_(1C) adrenergic receptor antagonists. In the instant patent disclosure, we reveal novel compounds which we have discovered specifically bind the human α_(1C) receptor. These compounds are further tested for binding to other human alpha 1 receptor subtypes, as well as counterscreened against other types of receptors, thus defining the specificity of the compounds for the human α_(1C) adrenergic receptor.

Compounds of his invention are used to reduce the acute symptoms of BPH. Thus, compounds of this invention may be used alone or in conjunction with a more long-term anti-BPH therapeutics, such as testosterone 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, including PROSCAR® (finasteride). Aside from their utility as anti-BPH agents, these compounds may be used to induce highly tissue-specific, localized α_(1C) adrenergic receptor blockade whenever this is desired. Effects of this blockade include reduction of intra-ocular pressure, control of cardiac arrhythmias, and possibly a host of alpha-1C receptor mediated central nervous system events.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

This invention provides compounds for the treatment of urinary obstruction caused by benign prostatic hypertropy (also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH). The compounds selectively antagonize the human alpha-1C adrenergic receptor at nanomolar and subnanomolar concetrations while exhibiting at least ten fold lower affinity for the alpha1A and alpha1B human adrenergic receptor and many other G-protein coupled receptors. This invention has the advantage over non-selective alpha-1 adrenoceptor antagonists of reduced side effects related to peripheral adrenergic blockade. Such side effects include orthostatic hypotension, syncope, lethargy etc. These compounds have the structure: ##STR1## and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, prodrug, polymorph, or metabolite thereof wherein:

One preferred combination therapy includes the use of compounds described herein in conduction with a compound effective to inhibit testosterone 5-alpha reductase.

Representative compounds of this invention exhibit high selectivity for the human alpha1C adrenergic receptor and are therefore useful for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia and for inhibiting contraction of prostate tissue. One implication of this selectivity for the human alpha1C adrenergic receptor is that these compounds display selectivity for lowering intraurethral pressure without substantially affecting diastolic blood pressure.

Representative compounds of this invention display submicromolar affinity for the human alpha1C adrenergic receptor subtype while displaying at least ten-fold lower affinity for the human alpha1A and alpha1B adrenergic receptor subtypes, and many other G-protein coupled human receptors. Particular representative compounds of this invention exhibit nanomolar and subnanomolar affinity for the human alpha1C adrenergic receptor subtype while displaying at least 30 fold lower affinity for the human alpha1A and alpha1B adrenergic receptor subtypes, and many other G-protein coupled human receptors. Representative compounds of this invention exhibit Ki's for human alpha1C adrenergic receptors over a 500 fold lower than for the human alpha1A or alpha1B adrenergic receptors, while exhibiting greater than 300 fold selectivity for the human alpha1C adrenergic receptor over all other human G-protein coupled receptors tested (including serotonin, dopamine, alpha 2 adrenergic, beta adrenergic or muscarinic receptors). Furthermore, representative compounds of this invention exhibit good bioavailability in known animal models (approximately 30% in dogs and 16% in rats). These indicia are expected to provide good indications of bioavailability in humans.

Compounds of this invention are prepared by a two step alkylation process beginning with a saccharine or substituted saccharine (referred to as "the saccharine moiety") prepared according to methods known in the art (see for example U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,818,756; 4,937,343; 4,988,809 and 5,187,276, hereby incorporated by reference for this purpose). Preparation of spiropiperidines used herein in the preparation of compounds of this invention is described, for example, in published European Patent Application 90313262.9 (publication number 0 431 943 A2, 6/12/91, herein incorporated by reference for this purpose). The saccharine moiety is alkylated with a reagent such as 1,4-dibromobutane, or a similar reagent, to form the butyl-saccharine moiety (see Scheme 1 below). The butyl saccharine is then alkylated with a piperidinyl benzoxazinone (prepared as shown in Scheme 2 below) or with a spiroindanyl piperidine (prepared as shown in Scheme 3 below) to form the active compounds of this invention (see Scheme 1 below). These steps are further defined with reference to the following schemes, and the synthetic examples appended hereto. It should be understood that the specific solvents, catalysts and reactants could be substituted by analogous reagents by those skilled in the art. All substituents are as defined above: ##STR8## Abbreviations: DMF is dimethylformamide; EtOH is ethanol.

These compounds are administered in dosages effective to antagonize the alpha1C receptor where such treatment is needed, as in BPH and for inhibiting contraction of prostate tissue. For use in medicine, the salts of the compounds of this invention will be pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Other salts may, however, be useful in the preparation of the compounds according to the invention or of their pharmaceutically acceptable salts.

and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, metabolites and prodrugs thereof.

Preferred compounds of the present invention include:

1,1-Dioxido-2-(4-(4-(1,3-dihydro-2-oxo-5-methyl-2H-benzimidazolin-1-yl)-piperidin-1-yl)-butyl)-5-chloro-1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one;

1,1-Dioxido-2-(4-(4-(1,3-dihydro-2-oxo-6-methyl-2H-benzimidazolin-1-yl)-piperidin-1-yl)-butyl)-5-chloro-1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one; and

1,1-Dioxido-2-(4-(4-(5-methyl-2-oxo-3-benzoxazolinyl)-piperidin-1-yl)-butyl)-5,6-dihydro- 1,4!dioxino 2,3-e!benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one;

and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, metabolites and prodrugs thereof.

The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more compounds of this invention in association with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Preferably these compositions are in unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills, capsules, powders, granules, sterile parenteral solutions or suspensions, metered aerosol or liquid sprays, drops, ampoules, auto-injector devices or suppositories; for oral, parenteral, intranasal, sublingual or rectal administration, or for administration by inhalation or insufflation. Alternatively, the compositions may be presented in a form suitable for once-weekly or once-monthly administration; for example, an insoluble salt of the active compound, such as the decanoate salt, may be adapted to provide a depot preparation for intramuscular injection. For preparing solid compositions such as tablets, the principal active ingredient is mixed with a pharmaceutical carrier, e.g. conventional tableting ingredients such as corn starch, lactose, sucrose, sorbitol, talc, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, dicalcium phosphate or gums, and other pharmaceutical diluents, e.g. water, to form a solid preformulation composition containing a homogeneous mixture of a compound of the present invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. When referring to these preformulation compositions as homogeneous, it is meant that the active ingredient is dispersed evenly throughout the composition so that the composition may be readily subdivided into equally effective unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills and capsules. This solid preformulation composition is then subdivided into unit dosage forms of the type described above containing from 0.1 to about 500 mg of the active ingredient of the present invention. The tablets or pills of the novel composition can be coated or otherwise compounded to provide a dosage form affording the advantage of prolonged action. For example, the tablet or pill can comprise an inner dosage and an outer dosage component, the latter being in the form of an envelope over the former. The two components can be separated by an enteric layer which serves to resist disintegration in the stomach and permits the inner component to pass intact into the duodenum or to be delayed in release. A variety of materials can be used for such enteric layers or coatings, such materials including a number of polymeric acids and mixtures of polymeric acids with such materials as shellac, cetyl alcohol and cellulose acetate.

The liquid forms in which the novel compositions of the present invention may be incorporated for administration orally or by injection include aqueous solutions, suitably flavoured syrups, aqueous or oil suspensions, and flavoured emulsions with edible oils such as cottonseed oil, sesame oil, coconut oil or peanut oil, as well as elixirs and similar pharmaceutical vehicles. Suitable dispersing or suspending agents for aqueous suspensions include synthetic and natural gums such as tragacanth, acacia, alginate, dextran, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, polyvinyl-pyrrolidone or gelatin.

In the treatment of BPH, a suitable dosage level is about 0.01 to 250 mg/kg per day, preferably about 0.05 to 100 mg/kg per day, and especially about 0.05 to 5 mg/kg per day. The compounds may be administered on a regimen of 1 to 4 times per day.

Where the above-described processes for the preparation of the compounds according to the invention give rise to mixtures of stereoisomers, these isomers may be separated by conventional techniques such as preparative chromatography. The compounds may be prepared in racemic form, or individual enantiomers may be prepared either by enantiospecific synthesis or by resolution. The compounds may, for example, be resolved into their component enantiomers by standard techniques, such as the formation of diastereomeric pairs by salt formation with an optically active acid, such as (-)-di-p-toluoyl-d-tartaric acid and/or (+)-di-p-toluoyl-l-tartaric acid followed by fractional crystallization and regeneration of the free base. The compounds may also be resolved by formation of diastereomeric esters or amides, followed by chromatographic separation and removal of the chiral auxiliary.

During any of the above synthetic sequences it may be necessary and/or desirable to protect sensitive or reactive groups on any of the molecules concerned. This may be achieved by means of conventional protecting groups, such as those described in Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry, ed. J. F. W. McOmie, Plenum Press, 1973; and T. W. Greene & P. G. M. Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, John Wiley & Sons, 1991. The protecting groups may be removed at a convenient subsequent stage using methods known from the art.

The specificty of binding of compounds showing affinity for the α1C receptor is shown by comparing affinity to membranes obtained from COS cells tranfected with the cloned α1C receptor and membranes from tissues known to express other types of alpha or beta adrenergic receptors. In addition, the cloned human α1A and a hybrid human/rat α1B (with only the cytoplasmic, carboxy terminal region being rat sequence) could be used for this purpose, along with the human α1C receptor expressed in COS cells. Expression of the cloned human α1A, α1B, and α1C receptors and comparison of their binding properties with known selective antagonists provides a rational way for selection of compounds and discovery of new compounds with predictable pharmacological activities. Antagonism by these compounds of the human alpha1C adrenergic receptor subtype may be functionally demonstrated in anesthetized animals. These compounds may be used to increase urine flow without exhibiting orthostatic hypotensive effects.

The human alpha adrenergic receptor of the 1-C subtype was identified, cloned and expressed. A partial coding region for this receptor was generated by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction technology, RT-PCR. Accordingly, degenerate oligonucleotides encoding amino acids conserved in the fifth and sixth transmembrane domains of all three al receptor subtypes (A, B, C) were used to prime RT-PCR reactions using human heart mRNA as template. The predicted sized products were cloned and sequenced. Translation of the amplified cDNA yielded an open reading frame encoding a protein 95% homologous to the bovine α1C receptor (FIG. 2, SEQ. ID:5: and SEQ. ID:6:). This partial sequence was used to obtain a larger cDNA clone from a human hippocampus library (FIG. 3, SEQ. ID:6:). The remaining coding region was obtained by PCR amplification of human genomic DNA using primers based on the cDNA sequence and the last six amino acids of bovine α1C receptor (FIG. 4, SEQ.ID:10:). The complete receptor was then assembled using the partial sequences shown in FIG. 3, SEQ.ID:6: and FIG. 4, SEQ. ID:10:, to generate the sequence shown in FIG. 5, SEQ. ID:11:. The translation of this sequence is shown in FIG. 6, SEQ. ID:12:, and the alignment of the nucleotide and amino acid sequences, and the 5'-untranslated sequences, is shown in FIG. 7, SEQ. ID:11: and SEQ. ID:12:.

The 3'-terminal six amino acids of the human α_(1C) adrenergic receptor were confirmed by screening a human genomic library with the radiolabeled 3'-terminal 512 nucleotides of the SEQ. ID:10: clone previously obtained. A complete human exon 2 was generated in this manner and sequenced. The nucleotide sequence of this gene is provided in FIG. 19, SEQ. ID:27: and the amino acid sequence is provided in FIG. 20, SEQ. ID:28:. We discovered that this clone was identical to the original 3'-terminal portion of the gene, except that:

1) There are five silent nucleotide changes between the new clone and the previously obtained clone (the last five codons, including the stop codon, each have a silent change in the third nucleotide); and

2) At nucleotide position 1636 (amino acid 347), there is a cytosine to thymine base change resulting in the formation of a Pst1 site at that location and a concommitant single amino acid change of Arg to Cys. Thus, we have confirmed and localized the site of the two-allele Pst1restriction fragment polymorphism (RFLP) noted by Hoehe et al., Human Mol. Genetics, 1(5):349 (8/92)!. Through pharmacological studies using clones of both alleles, we have confirmed that the Arg to Cys change appear to be pharmacologically indistinguishable (see Table II, Example 11, below).

The cloned human α1C receptor, when expressed in mammalian cell lines (see FIG. 8), is used to discover ligands that bind to the receptor and alter its function. In addition, the cloned α1C receptor enables quanititation of mRNA levels in human tissues, including the aorta and prostate, by RNase protection assays. For these purposes, a complete coding sequence of the receptor is provided. However, as long as the ligand binding and signal transduction segments of the receptor (G-protein interaction) are intact, truncation at the 3' end of the sequence does not affect the functioning of the receptor. Thus, in addition to the sequence provided in SEQ. ID:11:, a sequence, truncated at the 3' end, SEQ. ID:26: is disclosed, which consists entirely of human alpha1C sequence.

Once the human receptor is cloned and expressed in a cell such as COS cells or CHO cells, the receptor is free of other human proteins. The membranes from cells expressing different human alpha adrenergic receptor subtypes are then isolated according to methods well known in the art for membrane associated receptor binding assays.

For example, the method of Schwinn, et al., (J. Biol. Chem., 265:8183-8189, 1990) may be used. A compound of interest is used to compete with the binding of a known, quantifiable alpha receptor ligand. Thus, radiolabled prazosin, niguldipine, 5-methyl urapidil, terazosin, dozazosin, phenoxybenzamine, WB4101, benoxathian, HEAT (2- β-(4-hydroxy-3-iodophenyl)ethylaminomethyl!tetralone, or phentolamine may be used for this purpose (see, for example, Robert R. Ruffolo, Jr., α-Adrenoreceptors: Molecular Biology, Biochemistry and Pharmacology, (Progress in Basic and Clinical Pharmacology series, Karger, 1991), page 29). Because of the ease of ¹²⁵ Iodine detection, ¹²⁵ I-HEAT may be preferred for this purpose. By increasing the amount of unlabeled, test compound, the labeled compound is competed off the receptor. From these experiments, IC50 values for each test compound and receptor subtype is determined.

A new sequence for the human α1A adrenergic receptor which is more homologous to the rat α1A adrenergic receptor sequence is also provided herein (see Example 12 and FIGS. 22, 23, and 24, SEQ. ID:29: and SEQ. ID:30:). While no difference in ligand binding has thus far been observed based on the different amino terminal amino acid sequences between these two receptors, such differences cannot be ruled out except by screening compounds against both clones. Since a new human α1A adrenergic receptor sequence is provided herein, compounds identified using the earlier reported human α1A adrenergic receptor sequence can now be confirmed against this clone.

Compounds of this invention exhibiting selective human α1C adrenergic receptor antagonism may further be defined by counterscreening. This is accomplished according to methods known in the art using other receptors responsible for mediating diverse biological functions. Compounds which are both selective amongst the various human alpha1 adrenergic receptor subtypes and which have low affinity for other receptors, such as the alpha2 adrenergic receptors, the β-adrenergic receptors, the muscarinic receptors, the serotonin receptors, and others are particularly preferred. The absence of these non-specific activities may be confirmed by using cloned and expressed receptors in an analogous fashion to the method disclosed herein for identifying compounds which have high affinity for the various huaman alpha1 adrenergic receptors. Furthermore, functional biological tests are used to confirm the effects of identified compounds as alpha1C adrenergic receptor antagonists.

Compounds of this patent disclosure may be used alone at appropriate dosages defined by routine testing in order to obtain optimal antagonism of the human α1C adrenergic receptor while minimizing any potential toxicity. In addition, co-administration or sequential administration of other agents which alleviate the effects of BPH is desirable. Thus, in one embodiment, this includes administration of compounds of this invention and a human testosterone 5-α reductase inhibitor. Included in this embodiment are inhibitors of 5-alpha reductase isoenzyme 2. Many such compounds are now well known in the art and include such compounds as PROSCAR®, (also known as finasteride, a 4-Aza-steroid; see U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,377,584 and 4,760,071, for example, hereby incorporated by reference). In addition to PROSCAR®, which is principally active in prostatic tissue due to its selectivity for human 5-α reductase isozyme 2, combinations of compounds which are specifically active in inhibiting testosterone 5-alpha reductase isozyme 1 (found particularly in skin) and compounds which act as dual inhibitors of both isozymes 1 and 2, are useful in combination with compounds of this invention. Compounds that are active as 5α-reductase inhibitors have been described in WO93/23420, EP 0572166; WO 93/23050; WO93/23038,; WO93/23048; WO93/23041; WO93/23040; WO93/23039; WO93/23376; WO93/23419, EP 0572165; WO93/23051, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference.

The present invention also has the objective of providing suitable topical, oral, systemic and parenteral pharmaceutical formulations for use in the novel methods of treatment of the present invention. The compositions containing compounds of this invention as the active ingredient for use in the specific antagonism of human alpha1C adrenergic receptors can be administered in a wide variety of therapeutic dosage forms in conventional vehicles for systemic administration. For example, the compounds can be administered in such oral dosage forms as tablets, capsules (each including timed release and sustained release formulations), pills, powders, granules, elixirs, tinctures, solutions, suspensions, syrups and emulsions, or by injection. Likewise, they may also be administered in intravenous (both bolus and infusion), intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, topical with or without occlusion, or intramuscular form, all using forms well known to those of ordinary skill in the pharmaceutical arts. An effective but non-toxic amount of the compound desired can be employed as an alpha1C antagonistic agent.

The daily dosage of the products may be varied over a wide range from 0.01 to 1,000 mg per adult human/per day. For oral administration, the compositions are preferably provided in the form of scored or unscored tablets containing 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0, 15.0, 25.0, and 50.0 milligrams of the active ingredient for the symptomatic adjustment of the dosage to the patient to be treated. An effective amount of the drug is ordinarily supplied at a dosage level of from about 0.0002 mg./kg to about 50 mg./kg. of body weight per day. The range is more particularly from about 0.001 mg./kg to 7 mg./kg. of body weight per day. With reference to terazosin, it is predictable that the potent and more selective compounds of this invention are effective at doses equal to or between ten and a hundred fold lower than dosages utilized for that compound (see, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,212,176). The dosages of the alpha1C adrenergic receptor and testosterone 5-alpha reductase inhibitors are adjusted when combined to achieve desired effects. As those skilled in the art will appreciate, less 5-alpha reductase inhibitor may be required when the acute symptoms of BPH are alleviated by treatment with the alpha1C adrenergic receptor inhibitor of this invention. On the other hand, dosages of these various agents may be independently optimized and combined to achieve a synergistic result wherein the pathology is reduced more than it would be if either agent were used alone.

The term "therapeutically effective amount" as used herein means that amount of active compound or pharmaceutical agent that elicits the biological or medicinal response in a tissue, system, animal or human that is being sought by a researcher, veterinarian, medical doctor or other clinician, which includes alleviation of the symptoms of the disease being treated. The term inhibitorily effective amount or antagonistically effective amount as used herein means that amount of an active compound which, when contacted with a particular enzyme or receptor, interrupts the usual catalytic activity or signal transduction of that enzyme or receptor.

The term "subject," as used herein refers to an animal, preferably a mammal, most preferably a human, who has been the object of treatment, observation or experiment.

Advantageously, compounds of the present invention may be administered in a single daily dose, or the total daily dosage may be administered in divided doses of two, three or four times daily. Furthermore, compounds for the present invention can be administered in intranasal form via topical use of suitable intranasal vehicles, or via transdermal routes, using those forms of transdermal skin patches well known to those of ordinary skill in that art. To be administered in the form of a transdermal delivery system, the dosage administration will, of course, be continuous rather than intermittent throughout the dosage regimen.

For the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatitis and the prevention and/or treatment of prostatic cancer, compounds of this invention exhibiting alpha1C adrenergic receptor blockade can be combined with a therapeutically effective amount of a 5α-reductase 2 inhibitor, such as finasteride, in addition to a 5α-reductase 1 inhibitor, such as 4,7B-dimethyl-4-aza-5α-cholestan-3-one, in a single oral, systemic, or parenteral pharmaceutical dosage 5 formulation. Alternatively, a combined therapy can be employed wherein the alpha1C adrenergic receptor antagonist and the 5α-reductase 1 or 2 inhibitor are administered in separate oral, systemic, or parenteral dosage formulations. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,377,584 and 4,760,071 which describe dosages and formulations for 5α-reductase inhibitors.

For combination treatment with more than one active agent, where the active agents are in separate dosage formulations, the active agents can be administered concurrently, or they each can be administered at separately staggered times.

The dosage regimen utilizing the compounds of the present invention is selected in accordance with a variety of factors including type, species, age, weight, sex and medical condition of the patient; the severity of the condition to be treated; the route of administration; the renal and hepatic function of the patient; and the particular compound thereof employed. A physician or veterinarian of ordinary skill can readily determine and prescribe the effective amount of the drug required to prevent, counter or arrest the progress of the condition. Optimal precision in achieving concentration of drug within the range that yields efficacy without toxicity requires a regimen based on the kinetics of the drug's availability to target sites. This involves a consideration of the distribution, equilibrium, and elimination of a drug.

In the methods of the present invention, the compounds herein described in detail can form the active ingredient, and are typically administered in admixture with suitable pharmaceutical diluents, excipients or carriers (collectively referred to herein as "carrier" materials) suitably selected with respect to the intended form of administration, that is, oral tablets, capsules, elixirs, syrups and the like, and consistent with conventional pharmaceutical practices.

For instance, for oral administration in the form of a tablet or capsule, the active drug component can be combined with an oral, non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable inert carrier such as ethanol, glycerol, water and the like. Moreover, when desired or necessary, suitable binders, lubricants, disintegrating agents and coloring agents can also be incorporated into the mixture. Suitable binders include, without limitation, starch, gelatin, natural sugars such as glucose or beta-lactose, corn sweeteners, natural and synthetic gums such as acacia, tragacanth or sodium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose, polyethylene glycol, waxes and the like.

Lubricants used in these dosage forms include, without limitation, sodium oleate, sodium stearate, magnesium stearate, sodium benzoate, sodium acetate, sodium chloride and the like. Disintegrators include, without limitation, starch, methyl cellulose, agar, bentonite, xanthan gum and the like.

The liquid forms in suitably flavored suspending or dispersing agents such as the synthetic and natural gums, for example, tragacanth, acacia, methyl-cellulose and the like. Other dispersing agents which may be employed include glycerin and the like. For parenteral administration, sterile suspensions and solutions are desired. Isotonic preparations which generally contain suitable preservatives are employed when intravenous administration is desired.

The compounds of the present invention can also be administered in the form of liposome delivery systems, such as small unilamellar vesicles, large unilamellar vesicles and multilamellar vesicles. Liposomes can be formed from a variety of phospholipids, such as cholesterol, stearylamine or phosphatidylcholines.

Compounds of the present invention may also be delivered by the use of monoclonal antibodies as individual carriers to which the compound molecules are coupled. The compounds of the present invention may also be coupled with soluble polymers as targetable drug carriers. Such polymers can include polyvinylpyrrolidone, pyran copolymer, polyhydroxypropylmethacrylamidephenol, polyhydroxy-ethylaspartamidephenol, or polyethyleneoxidepolylysine substituted with palmitoyl residues. Furthermore, the compounds of the present invention may be coupled to a class of biodegradable polymers useful in achieving controlled release of a drug, for example, polylactic acid, polyepsilon caprolactone, polyhydroxy butyric acid, polyorthoesters, polyacetals, polydihydro-pyrans, polycyanoacrylates and cross-linked or amphipathic block copolymers of hydrogels.

Compounds of this invention may be administered in any of the foregoing compositions and according to dosage regimens established in the art whenever specific blockade of the human alpha1C adrenergic receptor is required.

The following examples are provided to further define the invention without, however, limiting the invention to the particulars of these examples.

Probes:

3'CG: A 525 bps fragment, specific to complete exon.2 of human alpha1c AR, was PCR amplified from human genomic DNA using a sense primer based on the isolated cDNA clone and an antisense primer based on the last six amino acids of bovine alpha1c cDNA. This PCR product was subcloned and confirmed by sequencing (see Example 3, SEQ.ID:10:).

Genomic Library Screening:

Human W138 Fibroblast genomic library synthesized in the Lambda Fix II vector (2×10⁶ recombinants; Stratagene,La Jolla, Calif.) was screened with (3'CG). This probe was labelled with ³² P-dCTP (Amersham) by random-primed labelling kit (Boehringer Mannheim,lndianapolis,Ind.). A Total 800,000 plaques were screened, using duplicate Hybond-N nylone filters (Amersham,UK). Prior to hybridization, filters were denatured (1.5M NaCl+0.5M NaOH), neutralized (1.5M NaCl+1M Tris.Cl,pH 8.0) and washed (0.2M Tris.Cl pH 7.5+2 SSC), 5' for each. DNA was cross-linked with UV cross-linker (Stratagene,La Jolla,Calif.). The filters were, then, hybridized in 50% formamide, 5×SSC(1×SSC=0.15M NaCl, 0.015M Na citrate, pH7.0), 0.02% polyvinylpyrophosphate, 0.2% Ficoll, 0.2% bovine serum albumin, 150 μg of sheared & boiled Salmon sperm DNA, 10⁶ cpm of ³² P-labelled probe at 42° C. for 40 hrs. Filters were washed in 0.1×SSC+1% SDS solution at 60° C. for 20'. Two more rounds of screening for 20 "positive" plaques/clones with 3'CG probe confirmed two clones for the alpha1C adrenergic receptor, which were named 48.1C and 53.1C. Clone 53.1C was subjected to further analysis/investigation.

Sub-clonning of Exon.2:

53.1C lambda DNA was amplified by plate lysis method and purified with Qiagen midi-lambda kit (Qiagen,Chatsworth,Calif.). A 2.6 Kb band excised with EcoRI restriction enzyme was identified by Southern analysis using 3'CG probe. This fragment was then subcloned into pGEM3Zf(+) vector.

DNA sequencing:

Nucleotide sequence analysis of DNA in both direction was performed by Sanger chain termination method.

Result and Discussion:

Sequencing analysis of this genomic clone confirmed that clone 53.1c contains sequences for complete exon.2 flanked by an intron at 5'-end. It also revels that there is a nucleotide change from cytosine (C) to thymine(T) at nucleotide position 1636, amino acid position 347. This change creates a PstI site and changes the codon for arginine (Arg) to cystine (Cys). This data differs from the known/published cDNA sequence of the gene. Southern analysis of human genomic DNA confirms the PstI site in the gene/exon.2.

Comparative Pharmacology of Alpha 1-C Alleles

We have cloned two genes for the human alpha-1c receptor. The coding regions differ by a single nucleotide. The genes encode either Cys or Arg at amino acid 347 near the C terminus of the receptor. The nucleotide difference lies within a PstI restriction enzyme recognition site thus creating a Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP). The frequency of allele 1 (LRR) is 0.34; allele 2 (LCR) is 0.66 in 83 unrelated individuals (Hoehe et al "A two-allele PstI RFLP for the alpha-1C adrenergic receptor gene" Human Molecular Genetics 1: 349, 1992; Allele I is defined by a 2.1 kb PstI fragment; allele 2 yields two bands of 1.6 and 0.5 kb). Since the amino acid difference occurs within the intracellular tail of the receptor we would not expect any pharmacological differences between the expressed receptors. To investigate the pharmacological profiles of the two allelic forms of the human alpha-1c adrenergic receptor we ligated the genomic exon 2 fragment of allele 2 to a cDNA clone of allele 1 at a common PvuII restriction site. The two allelic forms were transiently expressed in COS-7 cells using pcDNAI/NEO (Invitrogen) expression vector. Competitive inhibition studies performed in the presence of ¹²⁵ I-HEAT with various antagonists showed no significant difference in their pharmacological profiles (Table II):

Cloning of a Novel Alpha1-A Adrenergic Receptor

A cosmid library containing FG293 cell line genomic DNA in the double-cos vector sCos-l was screened as follows: The published human α₁ a receptor cDNA clone (Bruno et al., BBRC, 179:1485-1490 (1991), and see FIG. 10, SEQ.ID:13:) was cloned into the vector pcDNA1 neo to generate the clone pEXα1a. Filters containing approximately 200,000 clones were screened by colony hybridization ( Sambrook, Molecular Cloning, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, New York, 1989!) using a mixed exon 1 probe generated by PCR corresponding to α_(1a) (TMD1-3), α_(1b) (TMD1-5) and α_(1c) (TMD1-5): 25 cycles of 95° C. 1'; 52° C. 30 sec; 72° C. 1.5' using 10 ng of pEX α1b, pEX α1c or pEX α1a and 10 pmoles each of primers 5' MET (5' GAATCCCGACCTGGAC), SEQ.ID:31:, and 3' BAM (5'GGATCCTCAGGGTC), SEQ.ID:32:, for α1b, 5' 597 (5' CCATGGTGTTTCTCTCGGG), SEQ.ID:33: and 3' 1219 (5' GACGCGGCAGTACATGAC), SEQ.ID:34: for α1c or 5' 76 (5' GTCATGATGGCTGGGTACTTG), SEQ.ID:35:, for α1a in a 12 μl reaction containing 1.5 μM each unlabelled dNTP and 50 μCi 3000 Ci/mmol α- ³² P! dCTP. The filters were incubated with 1×10⁶ cpm/ml of probe in 5× SSC, 35% Formamide, 0.02% SDS, 0.1% lauroyl sarcosine, 2% blocking buffer (Bohrenger Mannheim), at 42° C. for 18 hours. The filters were washed with 2 liters of 0.5× SSC, 0.1% SDS, 55° C. and exposed to Kodak XAR-5 film. Twelve primary positives were picked from master plates and re-screened using the α_(1a) -specific probe. Cosmid DNA was prepared from second round positive clones, digested with endonucleases Eco RI or Hind III and subjected to Southern blot analysis: Fragments were resolved by electrophoresis, and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane (Bohrenger Mannheim) with 20× SSC (1× SSC=0.15M Sodium chloride, 0.015M Sodium citrate, pH 7.0) according to the method of Southern ( Southern, 1975 #14!) . The membrane was hybridized, washed and analyzed as described above. Alpha-1a, α_(1b), and α_(1c) receptor clones were identified by comparison of restriction patterns with genomic southern blots performed with α_(1a), α_(1b), or α_(1c) specific probes. A Cosmid containing α_(1a) receptor exon 1 DNA was subjected to restriction digestion by endonuclease Pst I and subjected to southern blot analysis as above using the α_(1a) -specific probe. Two fragments of 2.3 and 1.6 kb were detected and subcloned into the Pst I site of PGEM 3ZF. The presence of the correct 5' terminal sequences in the 2.3 kb fragment was confirmed by sequencing across the junction between inverted repeat and non-repeat sequences. The 5' end of the α_(1a) receptor gene was ligated to the cDNA clone at their common PstI site, see FIGS. 22-24, SEQ.ID:29:, and SEQ.ID:30:.

Exemplary Functional Assays

In order to confirm the specificity of compounds for the human alpha1C adrenergic receptor and to define the biological activity of the compounds, the following functional tests may be performed:

1. In vitro Rat, Dog and Human Prostate and Dog Urethra

Taconic Farms Sprague-Dawley male rats, weighing 250-400 grams are sacrificed by cervical dislocation under anesthesia (methohexital; 50 mg/kg, i.p.). An incision is made into the lower abdomen to remove the ventral lobes of the prostate. Each prostate removed from a mongrel dog is cut into 6-8 pieces longitudinally along the urethra opening and stored in ice-cold oxygenated Krebs solution overnight before use if necessary. Dog urethra proximal to prostate is cut into approximately 5 mm rings, the rings are then cut open for contractile measurement of circular muscles. Human prostate chips from transurethral surgery of benign prostate hyperplasia are also stored overnight in ice-cold Krebs solution if needed.

The tissue is placed in a Petri dish containing oxygenated Krebs solution NaCl, 118 mM; KCl, 4.7 mM; CaCl₂, 2.5 mM; KH₂ PO₄, 1.2 mM; MgSO₄, 1.2 mM; NaHCO₃, 2.0 mM; dextrose, 11 mM! warmed to 37° C. Excess lipid material and connective tissue are carefully removed. Tissue segments are attached to glass tissue holders with 4-0 surgical silk and placed in a 5 ml jacketed tissue bath containing Krebs buffer at 37° C., bubbled with 5% CO₂ /95% O₂. The tissues are connected to a Statham-Gould force transducer; 1 gram (rat, human) or 1.5 gram (dog) of tension is applied and the tissues are allowed to equilibrate for one hour. Contractions are recorded on a Hewlett-Packard 7700 series strip chart recorder.

After a single priming dose of 3 μM (for rat), 10 μM (for dog) and 20 μM (for human) of phenylephrine, a cumulative concentration response curve to an agonist is generated; the tissues are washed every 10 minutes for one hour. Vehicle or antagonist is added to the bath and allowed to incubate for one hour, then another cumulative concentration response curve to the agonist is generated.

EC₅₀ values are calculated for each group using GraphPad Inplot software. pA₂ (-log K_(b)) values were obtained from Schild plot when three or more concentrations were tested. When less than three concentrations of antagonist are tested, Kb values are calculated according to the following formula ##EQU1## where x is the ratio of EC₅₀ of agonist in the presence and absence of antagonist and B! is the antagonist concentration.

2. Measurement of Intra-Urethral Pressure in Anesthetized Dogs

PURPOSE: Benign prostatic hyperplasia causes decreased urine flow rate that may be produced by both passive physical obstruction of the prostatic urethra from increased prostate mass as well as active obstruction due to prostatic contraction. Alpha adrenergic receptor antagonists such as prazosin and terazosin prevent active prostatic contraction, thus improve urine flow rate and provide symptomatic relief in man. However, these are non-selective alpha-1 receptor antagonists which also have pronounced vascular effects. Because we have identified the alpha-1C receptor subtype as the predominent subtype in the human prostate, it is now possible to specifically target this receptor to inhibit prostatic contraction without concomitant changes in the vasculature. The following model is used to measure adrenergically mediated changes in intra-urethral pressure and arterial pressure in anesthetized dogs in order to evaluate the efficacy and potency of selective alpha adrenergic receptor antagonists. The goals are to: 1) identify the alpha-1 receptor subtypes responsible for prostatic/urethral contraction and vascular responses, and 2) use this model to evaluate novel selective alpha adrenergic antagonists. Novel and standard alpha adrenergic antagonists may be evaluated in this manner.

METHODS: Male mongrel dogs (7-12 kg) are used in this study. The dogs are anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium (35 mg/kg, i.v. plus 4 mg/kg/hr iv infusion). An endotracheal tube is inserted and the animal ventilated with room air using a Harvard instruments positive displacement large animal ventilator. Catheters (PE 240 or 260) are placed in the aorta via the femoral artery and vena cava via the femoral veins (2 catheters, one in each vein) for the measurement of arterial pressure and the administration of drugs, respectively. A supra-pubic incision ˜1/2 inch lateral to the penis is made to expose the urethers, bladder and urethra. The urethers are ligated and cannulated so that urine flows freely into beakers. The dome of the bladder is retracted to facilitate dissection of the proximal and distal urethra. Umbilical tape is passed beneath the urethra at the bladder neck and another piece of umbilical tape is placed under the distal urethra approximately 1-2 cm distal to the prostate. The bladder is incised and a Millar micro-tip pressure transducer is advanced into the urethra. The bladder incision is sutured with 2-0 or 3-0 silk (purse-string suture) to hold the transducer. The tip of the transducer is placed in the prostatic urethra and the position of the Millar catheter is verified by gently squeezing the prostate and noting the large change in urethral pressure.

Phenylephrine, an alpha-1 adrenergic agonist, is administered (0.1-100 ug/kg, iv; 0.05 ml/kg volume) in order to construct dose response curves for changes in intra-urethral and arterial pressure. Following administration of increasing doses of an alpha adrenergic antagonist (or vehicle), the effects of phenylephrine on arterial pressure and intra-urethral pressure are re-evaluated. Four or five phenylephrine dose-response curves are generated in each animal (one control, three or four doses of antagonist or vehicle). The relative antagonist potency on phenylephrine induced changes in arterial and intra-urethral pressure are determined by Schild analysis. The family of averaged curves are fit simultaneously (using ALLFIT software package) with a four paramenter logistic equation constraining the slope, minimum response, and maximum response to be constant among curves. The dose ratios for the antagonist doses (rightward shift in the dose-response curves from control) are calculated as the ratio of the ED₅₀ 's for the respective curves. These dose-ratios are then used to construct a Schild plot and the Kb (expressed as ug/kg, iv) determined. The Kb (dose of antagonist causing a 2-fold rightward shift of the phenylephrine dose-response curve) is used to compare the relative potency of the antagonists on inhibiting phenylephrine responses for intra-urethral and arterial pressure. The relative selectivity is calculated as the ratio of arterial pressure and intra-urethral pressure Kb's. Effects of the alpha-1 antagonists on baseline arterial pressure are also monitored. Comparison of the relative antagonist potency on changes in arterial pressure and intra-urethral pressure provide insight as to whether the alpha receptor subtype responsible for increasing intra-urethral pressure is also present in the systemic vasculature. According to this method, one is able to confirm the selectivity of alpha1C adrenergic receptor antagonists that prevent the increase in intra-urethral pressure to phenylephrine without any activity at the vasculature.

At the end of the experiment, the dogs are killed via an overdose of intravenously administered pentobarbital or saturated KCl.
